West Ham Online

I was thoroughly looking forward to the start of this season

Was also prepared that things might take some time and wasn't expecting miracles over night What I didn't expect was a manager who after spending 6 weeks with the total dross he'd been left by Moyes would deem them fit to start in a premier league game And low and behold all of them played absolute shit

We're now 1 game in and none of our new players are any closer to bedding in or learning anything from their new team mates cos they barely spent a second on the pitch, half of them not at all I think it's gonna take somewhere between 6-10 games before we see the team anyone with an ounce of sense would play cos this bloke can't identify shit when he see's it I thought we was handed a miracle at half time when we went in level and low and behold he changed nothing I'm sure people are gonna make excuses for him and say it's too early to judge

But from what I've just seen today, this cսnt is David Moyes in a mission impossible mask

As many of us expected. Indecision as always. Putting off the inevitable.  Sacrifice more points and prolong the agony… “Sullivans Way”

No progress can ever be made with Sullivan as owner.  I do believe he wants us in Europe and competing but has no strategy or plan to get there and sustain it. Never has in 20 odd years of football  club ownership at Brum and West Ham.  

Sullivan’s strange values where he throws money away on 53 strikers, made his initial money in porn, buys wives and girlfriends, misleads fanbase over moving to the LS but protrays himself as virtuous by saying he likes to be loyal to managers and will not, out of principle, buy a manager out of a contract for relative small change compared to his transfer disasters and poir management appointments down the years.  

Poor Sully, there should be an intervention by his family to save him from more self harm.

Like I thought, his refusal to admit he’s fvcked up yet again meand this poor Loppy fella will continue to sink us until the New Year.  Very depressing

Steve Cooper 33/1, worth a bet eh!

El Sackico

Here for Wolves. These type of scenarios never make any sense, beat Wolves and then lose to Bournemouth, then what? Absolute shambles, no responsibility to over 50,000 ST holders.

What's the odds on Steve Cooper?

FWIW, I thought Moyes' time had come and we were right to move on. Lopetegui wasn't my first choice though I had reserved optimism he might gradually improve on areas most of us had identified we were struggling in. I was prepared to be underwhelmed but even I'm surprised at how pear-shaped it's going.

 

 

Haha, great description.

But please, enough with the excuses. His Dad is ill? So what, he is a 58 year old bloke who CHOSE to take a highly pressured, public job in elite top flight management in the most watched, and highest profile league in the world. Don't take the job if you're not mentally up to it. It's not like he's getting paid MILLIONS to get results or anything.

How's Brooking for a few games?

The meeting is this afternoon I hear. Sully doesn't like a team without a coach so I assume he might drag it out even after the Wolves game to get a replacement. He won't tap up managers in a jobs. So the list is a bit bare

Potter ?

Good let's get him in quick and then you, Ladyboy and Nutsack can fuck off to watch Spurs

I agree, Swiss.

It was the perfect time for us to do a Liverpool and announce he was leaving at the end of the season which would have given us ample time for us to find someone.  Mind you, that person would still have been Lopetegui as him and Salthouse has already began to butter Sullivan up by then.

It is obvious that getting rid of Moyes was a mistake. So quick to demonize the man that brought us the only success in 50 years you fucking bunch of thick cunts.

 

Our Premier League form under Moyes was fucking embarrassing and we were on a massive decline without European football to distract us.

So the mistake was not sacking Moyes.  It was who we replaced him with and that was always going to be the issue.

Haha Steve Cooper.  Unfortunately its exactly who I would bank on now if Sullivan is a fan.  If he was smart he’d think I got it wrong again like most of my managerial appointments so I should probably listen to the Tech Director or those who onow a bit more about football like that Noble chap?  But no, he will cite Pellegrini as someone he appointed on the advice of others and still think he knows best.  Knowing best equates to calling Salthouse or Silkman to see what they recommend and who might be on their books, is cheap and available 

“West Ham are delighted to announce the appointment of Steven Cooper as their new coach reporting to David Sullivan as the chief of recruitment. We would also like to thank Tim Steidten for his work at the club and wish him well in his future career somewhere else. Tim was at fault for everything not Mr Sullivan and naturally had to be let go”

sincerely yours

Steve fucking Cooper?

hahaha

Just read that Sullivan is a big fan of Steve fucking Cooper
He really is an absolute retard
Wouldn’t surprise me at all if he gets the job 
although I’d wager Cooper would be slightly more successful as a male model than he would be at West Ham 

There won't be a press conference ffs, talk about dramatic.

They're holding a Press Conference to sack him?

Latest Update:

"Press conference provisionally scheduled for today.  Looks increasingly likely he'll go.  Potter been spoken to by the club and is keen.  Other options still being explored.  Some trying to persuade Sullivan Potter is the best option."
